What is the ruling on a husband repeatedly saying to his wife: "You are divorced" in a state of intense anger, especially since they have children?

If a man divorces his wife while in a state of extreme anger and loss of consciousness, such that he does not know what he is saying, then the divorce does not take effect. This is indicated by the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "No divorce and no manumission in ighlaq." Ighlaq here refers to coercion or extreme anger that overwhelms a person's intention.

Categories of anger and their effect on the occurrence of divorce:

1. First case: Complete loss of consciousness. In this case, divorce does not take effect, by agreement of the scholars. 2. Second case: Intense anger without a complete loss of consciousness. Divorce also does not take effect in this situation, according to the sounder opinion. 3. Third case: Ordinary, non-severe anger. In this case, divorce takes effect, by agreement of the scholars.

Both spouses are advised to fear Allah Almighty and avoid using the word of divorce. The presence of children should be a motivation to avoid recklessness in divorce, not a means to circumvent the Sharia ruling.
